Genea-Certification ~ Link - Board for Certification of Genealogists ~
"Since its founding in 1964, the Board for
Certification of Genealogists, independent of any
society, has stood for the highest standards of
competence and ethics. The Board views genealogical
practice as a profession or hobby that requires training
and advanced skills. It defines a client as anyone who
receives the benefit of the genealogist's work,
regardless of whether a fee is paid for that benefit.
Individuals certified in genealogy, like those in any
profession, are expected to pass qualifying examinations.
Our website includes detailed information about
certification for those who might be interested. It also
includes an online roster for those who would like to
locate a qualified professional to assist them. And there
are some valuable topical articles from the BCG's
quarterly publication for all genealogists who would like
to build their own research skills." /Mike St.
